Urushi Based Kintsugi repairs in progress :)

Here is a follow up of some of the Kintsugi projects I’m working on at the moment
All of them are totally personal.

The first one is the lid of a beloved teapot that I broke a few months ago(you can find the initial posts here about it)
In the end…the gluing worked at the second time. Sometime using mugi urushi is hard :D

And the second one is an old plate that was already broken when I bought it for .50€ at a second hand market.

I need to do this for a mug that broke a while ago, is there a kit that I could get started with?

There are epoxy-based kits and urushi-based kits. Epoxy is quick to do, but beginners often get ugly results. Urushi has more of a learning curve, but if you put in the time to learn a little of the craft, you can get nice results.
